Hi
Yes I can supply you my 2 piece discs and bells to fit the Prodrive Alcons , they are £395 a pair , when these wear down you only need to buy the outer rotor as you re-use the bells again , replacement rotors are then £295 a pair.
I can also supply you the Ferodo DS2500 pads for £140 a set , P&P is £15



Cheers Ian

Ours can take as much abuse as anything , but at a lower cost , I supply lots of these 330mm discs for rally cars as well , plenty of Impreza's running around with these fitted so someone will give you feedback on them.
The discs I make for these , has the same bolt pattern as an AP disc , so you can also have these bells with AP discs , these cost £595
Cheers Ian

yes Performance Friction do an inter-changeable 330x28mm that is compatible with the AP fitment Ian describes above............

I bought Godspeed replacement rotors for my AP's and had good service from Ian and they look great quality. Also a hell of a lot cheaper than what Demon Tweaks wanted for genuine AP ones.

I havn't used mine in anger yet though as the car is still off the road.

How rude !

By the number of discs we sell , thousands a year , we are bound to get the odd few back on our anti warp guarantee , and most of the time it would be down to sticking calipers , and I certainly can't remember the last time I had a two piece disc and bell warp.

And as for bells not fitting , only one alleged case of this , and after sending the customer out a new pair , I never gor his others ones back to see the problem for myself , so dont know if there was a problem with it.

If you have a look at my feedback on here , it pretty much speaks for itself , I'm sure there are other offering discs for your setup , even the original one piece ones from Prodrive

Cheers Ian

lol im not being rude just want to make sure what i am buying is not going to loose me any track time. as for the solid prodrive discs !! no way will i fit these again, would rather go back to my old set up subaru 4pots g88 discs with 1166 pads this worked very well i have a heavy foot and keep craking discs i just want to make sure i dont have this problem again. i would not slate anything i have never used, im not that kind of person. regards

I have had my Godspeed rotors fitted about 25k of hard driving. They have performed perfectly. Starting to warp a little now although they are nearly fit for the bin now as they are worn to the extent that there is nearly no grooves left. I personally would reccomend them. Just make sure your disks are all nice and free and they w3ill be fine. If they do warp Ian will replace them for free.

Regarding the 2-piece PF discs, are they lighter than OEM discs or same weight?
I am a bit worried about those little screws holding the 2-pieces together, can they take so much stress?
What's the dimension of these screws?
No offence meant , just worried!
Cheers

Hi
The 2 piece discs and bells will be lighter than the one piece discs , I did weigh them once but can't remember the difference.
The bolts are 6mm , high tenstile allen key bolts with an all metal locking nut , have never had a problem in 18 years making them.
Hope this helps
Cheers Ian

malpas1977

mmm I'm thinking that if the pattern of Ian's rotors are the same as AP's this must mean the bolt holes are the same !! meaning the bolts are the same diameter Ian's may have smaller heads on them but I'm pretty sure they work just as well if not i can always ask for AP ones

thanks for your information Ian reasonable price on rear set up. i will call you when I'm ready to order the front and rear together busy with work at the moment so not got much time to start messing regards

I've bought these exact same discs from Ian.
I've took some thinking before buying and eventually decides this was the best option.
I couldn't be more wrong.
The payment and shipping went as expected. Compleatlly normal. Wich is hard to find these days...!

When i installed the discs (on a proper expert), I found that the fitting of the bells were not plug and play...

The inside radius of the bells that adjust to the car is to big to allow proper fitting on the outside diameter.

I had this fixed but just creating a chanfer on the car part itself.

After this the discs properlly fit.

I also installed new ferodo ds2500.

Now on normal braking the car brakes normally like with the prodrive disks i had.
But after a few hard and long brakings i get vibration on the brake pedal.
I'm not a trackday guy, so this is not too problematic as this only happens after 4 or 5 long and hard braking.

I'm waitting for the pads to end to have the disks remachined...

I told all of this to Ian and he asked me to resend him the discs. As I live in Portugal and this meant that I had to pay almost 100£ just for the shipping I decided to blame this on myself for not buying original prodrive one.

If someone got another set of disc buy complaining exactlly the same as i did, i cant understand the diference of treatment between costumers.

As for me, I'm not sure I'll make the same disks choice, but maybe i was just unforntunate about this pair.

These seam like good discs, great finishing, ian seems a decent guy, but after all this sayed, i have poor braking...

(sorry for my english...)

Sorry , but I do not understand why you say the bells are not fitting , its the first I have heard you say this , we make the same bells for this kit for everybody , on our CNC machine , no one else has problems fitting them on , the only time that anything would need to be done , is to look at the shimming of the brackets , when the Alcon kit was supplied new , they came with a series of shims , that may or may not needed to be fitted in between the brackets and hub assembly , as far as I could see there is a variation in the original Alcon discs , which these shims dealt with.
If when you fit the new discs I supplied , if the calipers are not exactly centered on the discs , the pads will be a very tight fit in one side of the calipers , which will overheat the discs , and warp it very quickly , I include a fitting sheet which explains this , we have had a couple of customers who had this happen because of incorrect fitment , which they sent the discs back to us to true up again , now , after correct fitting they are running with no problems.

I ask you to send the discs back to me to check as this is what I believe is wrong with yours , it cost me £40 to send them to you , so dont know why you say its £100 to send them to me , if you had sent them to me , I would have covered the cost of sending them back to you.

Another point , if your saying you have vibration in the brake pedal , if its only the pedal that vibrates , its usually a rear discs that has warped , if a front disc has warped the steering wheel will shake. But if your saying that it happens after an amount of time and not all the time , then it could be something other than discs , a ball joing , wheel bearing , bush , as you get heat build up due to driving and braking hard , it doesn't automaticaly point to a warped disc , have you checked the runout on the disc ?

If the disc was warped I would say you would feel it all the time , even driving slowly

I stand by all my products , and will sort out any problems should they arise , its just a shame in this instance that you are in a different country which makes it more arkward

malpas1977

hi ian can you supply the shims ?? iv not got any on mine as the prodrive discs i have fit center with out the need of shims. whats that guy mean grind away what to make them fit gosh £100 return post.who dose he have to send them back to ?? ebay Ian over to you.

malpas1977
